To recover this oil means thinking big. It requires about 2 milhon tons of oil sand to produce one million barrels of synthetic crude oil, (equivalent to about 285,223 tons of coal) and engaging in this activity has already reshaped 420 km (152.5 mi ) of territory in the oil sand areas north of Fort McMurray, including the removal of more than 50 km (19.1 mi ) of boreal forest (Woynillowicz Severson-Baker, 2006) (Fig. 27.3). Another obvious impact comes from the accumulation of waste-products from hydrotreating, primarily waste sulfur stripped from the oil during processing. Presently, it is compressed into yellow blocks and stored on site as a massive sulfur mountain (Fig. 27.4).
